I get the complaints about speed… but… goddamn.. Stafford was sacked and pressured way too much.
I see execution as, by far, the biggest issue tonight… not talent.. not scheme.. not playcalling… just shitty play.

Kyren Williams has a bit of a fumbling problem.

He was #8 in the nfl in most fumbles last year with 3 (for running backs)

This year he already has 3 which puts him in the top 3 I believe.

Fiske led with his hands. You can see them extend out on replay. He got the OL in the shoulder, but it was a bit removed from the play. Could have been a block in the back, but if the lineman changed his position mid block and gave Fiske his back then it’s nothing.

Fiske could have blown him up, but didn’t. I’m leaning toward should have been a non call.
yes that was a shitty call.

wasn't much contact - the call is supposed to protect players from getting blown up - that's not what happened on that play.

Where's our speed on offense. It's more than whether we're hitting deep stuff. Who's the homerun threat?

I'm talking about more than just this game.
Tutu has plenty of speed. We've seen puka take off the top in multiple games in his career. Hell Robinson had the walk off deep td last week. It was a bad game, bad gameplan, bad prep letting three new rusty olinemen start. Just bad all around. I won't get lost into thinking the rams are a bad team. Just lacking the continuity and bad decisions by our HC. Just my opinion.

It's just the same people who say mcvay should be fired. Not talking shit just is what it is

I give the brunt of the blame on our 4-5 season atm to the offensive side of the ball.

The injuries really killed the offense early in the year, but the inability to score points early in the game has been a consistent problem from day 1. That to me is a McVay problem. I also do not think Stafford has played nearly to the level he is capable. The 0-line is the 3rd big factor - horrible at times.

It's hard to overcome bad decisions by the HC. Either way I think everything will be fine. We just need a get right game

If Nick Sirianni or Kyle Shanahan called a game like this they would be crucified by the media guys..Why does McVay always get a pass?

Kyle Shanahan does not get crucified in the media by anyone that I ever seen.

Sirirani acts like a tool bag so he gets attention for that.

Don't really see the comparison.

He doesn't. But he's not gonna freak out and blow everything up because of one game. This season has been unfortunate all around some of it the teams fault some of it not.

Not that I wanna defend McVay after a game like today… but take a guess as to what McVay has that those other two don’t have

I agree. Didn't like it. Should've avoided it though

I don't recall that - if you are talking about the long jonnu smith play.

They had Hoecht and Omar S. in the middle and Smith ran right by them.
Look at the play that got Miami to the one yard line.

Rozeboom completely whiffed on that tackle at the 18 yard line.

It's time for Stafford to get his head out of his arse and make some plays.

One good drive out of eight per game is not a winning formula.

And so many misses inside the redzone. What's going on with this guy?

yeah he did miss a tackle on that one - however it was after smith had already gained 20 yards.
If he makes the tackle at the 18 yard line, the way the defense was playing, they probably would have held them to a FG

Completely different game if that happens.

yeah he did - basically every LB sucked on that play however.
Oh yeah everyone was bad but you just don't miss a tackle like that when you are hitting the guy.

If it was Speights in that spot, Speights makes the tackle.

Rozebooms issues this year is taking wrong angles and missing tackles.

However, he actually did a very good job covering receivers tonight.
